Here are Republican Senators saying, “what’s the point of making laws restricting the ownership of guns, after all, criminals won’t follow the law in any case?” On the other hand, they have no problem creating laws to fight against terrorism, even though terrorists “won’t follow the law in any case?”

or hell, why make laws against abortion? Won’t “criminals” still abort whether there is a law or not? why make red lights? Won’t people who run red lights run red lights anyways?

it should be noted, aside from the original bombing, the only other people wounded or killed in this whole situation were people who had guns on them. The security guard at MIT, police officers, the two suspects.
